Brussels, 10/03/2006 (Agence Europe) - In a speech at Humboldt University in Berlin on 9 March, the President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, warned against speeding up the European integration process but said that Eurosceptic opinion had eased off in Poland. President Kaczynski said it was important not to look for progress in the EU for which the time was not yet ripe, and extending integration would be possible when European had become more socially coherent. (During his visit to Berlin, Kaczynski came in for sharp criticism of his comments about homosexuality.) The Polish President said he had no problem with the idea of a European constitution, but the time for a virtual state of Europe had not yet come. He argued, however, for the establishment of a European military body (see EUROPE 9147 on Kaczynski's ideas on the constitution). Kaczynski wants the EU to keep the door open to Ukraine and Georgia.
